Drums taken from hits and loops recorded on my iphone at a Blossoms soundcheck at Falkirk stadium  ....played by Mr john Simm

The Twin Dilemma existed around late 1992 to 1994.
Originally formed by myself and Stuart Talbot it went on to include Gina-Sax;  Si-Bass & Mark Rostum [R.I.P] - live drums.

For me , The Twin Dilemma was the next band I was in after AAAK and followed a similar format ……me doing the music alongside a singer/lyricist. There are hints of AAAK in the music, but it was deliberately aimed at being more British sounding and also more commercial. I also had taken to playing the guitar and this took to the forefront in this band.

Tech-wise we were running Cubase V1 on an Atari ST with a Fostex R8 1/4 inch tape machine synced to it - giving us 7 tape tracks to record on. We had an Akai S950 sampler which was used heavily on the drums, There was a Roland JD800 and a Yamaha TG33 as the main synths along with a Yamaha SPX900 multi FX unit. Mixing was done on an analog Tascam 2524 with 2x Alesis 3630 compressors monitored on Yamaha NS10s, recording to DAT.
